It's been a lifelong passion of his to write, but to do so professionally didn't enter his mind until January 2012, when he started writing his debut novel, The Winds of Change. That book is the pinnacle of his short life, and a realization of his dreams. Now that he is grown up, writing seems like the only logical thing for him; it's the one thing he can see himself doing for the rest of his life. And he's just gotten started. The Winds of Change is his first novel, but it shall not be his last.
